Cora Swise is a third-year BFA Acting Major at Emerson College. While acting is her primary focus in life, she has a passionate investment in theater as a whole; her theatrical interests range from analysis and directorial concept to simply being an audience member. She has appeared onstage and in independent film in both Chicago (her hometown) and Boston, and has also worked as an intern for both The Viola Project and Victory Gardens Theater. In addition to theater, Cora also has an interest in writing and has unofficially published a number of haiku. She has also written both scholarly and editorial pieces for Isis Magazine and is currently working on writing her first full play.
